  • Would "first edit to Wikipedia" sound better? Legoktm (talk) 01:16, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Foe the hook or the article title? Frankly, I welcome anyone's ideas on how to phrase either of them better (I spent a couple minutes trying to come up with the best title and ended up rolling a die for it). jp×g 15:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
I was just suggesting it for the hook. I think the title is fine as is, or at least I don't have any better suggestions. I tried to look for similar titles, but mostly found "First Battle of ____" and things that call themselves First in their name, none of which help here. Legoktm (talk) 01:37, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
